Posted on | by Ed

Mass for Shut-ins Episode 005 is now available for your listening pleasure on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, Spotify, and so on and on.

iTunes rankings, incidentally, are based in part on reviews so if you like what you hear it wouldn't be a terrible idea to leave a review (even if it's cursory, you can just tell everyone how amazing it is and how it changed your life and leave it at that).

As ever, the podcast is a labor of love so if you can spare $1, support via Patreon is greatly appreciated.

Episode notes:

Story: THE STAMP THAT MAILED A CANAL – How a 10-centavo Nicaraguan postage stamp turned the Nicaragua Canal into the Panama Canal in 1902. The tale combines all of your favorites: Gilded Age corrupt-af US congressional politics, comic-tragic Frenchmen, the Suez Canal, and hydrological engineering!

Guest: Dr. Timothy Rich, who studies the Korean Peninsula as well as Taiwan and…Nigerian email scams? We discuss the recent developments in ROK-DPRK peace talks, Kim's fears and logic, and how Tim got the entire lyrics to "Sexy Back" published in an academic journal.

    Loved the episode.

    The NK discussion was fun, I wonder how much more free stuff Kim Jong Un can wring out of Trump? I thought this recent post was somewhat apropos Infidel753 if a little wider in focus than NK.

    Loved the Panama/Nicaraguan Canal story. Savy financial predators exploiting a combination of fear, ignorance, and opportunity to manipulate the US Government are not unique to the social media age.

    I take it as a warning: "That's a pretty nice BLUE WAVE youse got over there, it'd be a shame if something 'happened' to it…"

    Nope, you're not crazy. The Twitter pane inexplicably hogs about 1/3 of the reading area, the actual content is crammed into a tiny reading pane in the middle-ish and the font size was shrunk, and the footer takes up waaaaay too much real estate. Not readable.
